When he took her in his arms, terâ€" rified, after her experience on the winâ€" dowâ€"arch of the Priory, he knew that the glory was enduring. He had been old in his youth. His hazardous and responsible* work had killed sentiment or, rather had encased it for war‘s grim season. Now the trammels had broken:; he was free, glittering. This youth, he felt, would outâ€"last ageâ€" then, with one final return of the old cynicism, he remembered that such was the stuff with which all lovers wind their nests.....Then he laughed, at all cynics.

It was forcibly pointed out that Timmins paid its full share of Dominion taxes, but never seemed to get anything from the Dominion in return.. The Advance proceeded to point out good reasons why Timmins should hace a new posc office and there should be a wharf at the Mattagami river.
